Gutenberg keyboard shortcuts

Gutenberg copped a lot of criticism from people that were used to working within elementor or some other DIVI like system. I found using the keyboard shortcuts made working within Gutenberg far easier and more efficient.

1. Delete block option ctrl z or hit delete key on block selected on list view.
2. Add block before command option t
3. Add block after command option y
4. Duplicate block command shift d
5. Hit / in the Gutenberg text editor to start finding blocks
